Divers find second body in Samut Songkram ferry-stop collapse

By The Nation

 

 

The body of a 24-year-old Thai woman, one of the two people who went missing when a ferry-stop pavilion collapsed in Samut Songkram province on Tuesday, was found on Wednesday.

 

The collapse on the bank of Mae Klong River injured 20. 

 

The first body was found on Tuesday night under the collapsed structure and identified as food vendor Suree Urachuen, 37, while the body of Pornpilai Sualek, 24, was found by divers on Wednesday and pulled out at around noon. 

 

Meanwhile, many people have sent in donations of medical supplies, food and other commodities to help the victims, search officials and volunteers, while Sampan Pongpannakul, an executive with Maeklong Concrete Ltd, has offered to put up officials and reporters at a resort. 

 

The traditional Thai-style concrete ferry-stop pavilion was built in 1972.

High speed rail would be a disaster.  60 mph or 80 mph is fast enough.  The Thais won't maintain anything properly.  The mentality is take the money up front, and that's it.  Infrastructure, the future, maintenance,  not in their mind set

[The Theory]

I don’t expect other than what happened since posts were in water for 50 years and most probably just regular construction posts. Rebars become just like cigarette ash after 50 years in water, cement like sauger cube.
